 * Hi
 * WordPress 3.5.2 Twenty Twelve
 * I seem to have hit a problem. I was trying to paste in some code into my functions.
   php file and my site has gone down. The paste was as follows:
 * add_filter(‘the_content’,’nuke_title_attribute’);
 * function nuke_title_attribute($output) {
    $output = preg_replace(‘/title=\”(.*?)\”/’,”,
   $output); return $output; }
 * (I was trying to get rid of pop up descriptions over images)
 * I copied back the original content of the file but no success – just the same
   error message which reads
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /www/sites/904/128/www.gpowis.com/
   web/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/functions.php on line 452
 * Obviously I’m code useless but any ideas what I can do to get my site back?? 
   Any help appreciated thanks

 * Either add extra ‘}’ or remove one required ‘}’ from functions.php.
 * It will be better interpret if paste the code of functions.php in [Paste Bin](http://pastebin.com/)

 * Shashank thanks for your help – I found there was still some wrong code in the
   functions.php which I cleared out and now it’s all back to normal.
